    When I used to race karts I sometimes needed to make some lead that was shaped funny.

    I melted it in a pan on the BBQ grill, out side far away from my house (but near that Ahole neighbor with the dog that always barks). Then I pour the lead into my mold, add more unmelted lead to the mold, and then go melt and pour again.

    No biggie, hold your breath!
